Atomic Aquatics Warranties

Some call it courageous. Others say it is brave. We think of it as confident. It takes real confidence to stand behind products with warranties that empower divers to really use their equipment for epic diving. Why are Atomic Aquatics equipment warranties so courageous? Because of the carefully selected materials and groundbreaking designs that deliver outstanding performance with minimal maintenance. Atomic Aquatics materials are resilient and corrosion-resistant. Atomic Aquatics equipment is designed to perform repetitive actions smoothly with minimal wear, resulting in less maintenance. And that gives Atomic Aquatics divers confidence as well.

The Expensive Truth About “Free Parts Warranties” and why Atomic Aquatics is more diver-friendly

Some competitors offer limited lifetime warranties that include lifetime “free parts” for the annual overhaul. This is simply a marketing technique intended to make a new diver believe they will save money on annual service costs. However, the biggest single factor in any regulator service is the “labor cost” which is not covered under a free parts warranty or any other regulator warranty. Contrary to the claim, a free-parts warranty may actually cost you double the repair costs compared to our warranty. Sometimes the small print in others warranty language stipulates that a major service must be performed every year with written proof of the service within a 30-day window or the lifetime free parts warranty is revoked. Our “Two-Year/300-Dive Warranty” is not contingent on proof of annual service. Atomic Aquatics regulators are designed to save you time and money by not requiring a yearly visit to a technician for service. At Atomic Aquatics, we believe other warranties have too many exclusions and restrictions to be truly beneficial to a diver.

Why can Atomic Aquatics regulators go two years without servicing?

Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Atomic Aquatics goes to great lengths to find materials that steadfastly resist the corrosive effects of ocean water.

Innovative Patented Designs
One reason regulators require annual service is what happens when they are stored between use.

This is an actual photo showing the corrosive effects of sea water on regulator breathing inlet tubes following a six-month continuous exposure “soak” test. A competitor’s conventional brass tube simply cannot compete with the Atomic Aquatics Titanium breathing tube which shows no corrosion. Even an Atomic Aquatics Brass breathing tube is Zirconium-plated and would not experience the level of corrosion of the competition.

The Atomic Aquatics Limited Lifetime Warranty is not contingent on proof of annual service.
Your regulator is the soul of your dive system. You don’t need to worry about it performing…especially if you are in some remote location where competent repair is a remote concept. That’s why every Atomic Aquatics regulator is built using materials and processes that resist corrosion and minimize maintenance – so you can log lots of dives over a long time with supreme confidence. While every regulator benefits from annual servicing, Atomic Aquatics regs do not require it. So you can worry less and dive more with Atomic Aquatics.

Atomic Aquatics regulators are made in the USA.

ATOMICA
Atomic Aquatics owns Atomica, our exclusive, proprietary R&D and manufacturing facility. Atomica gives us complete quality control for critical components.

ATOMICA PRECISION
This Swiss-style CNC machine is well known for its high-precision ability in making small parts. such as those used in watchmaking.

ATOMICA CNC
Atomica CNC machines are selected to be the best at the functions they perform. A Titanium first stage body is machined with 23 precision operations in one session.

ATOMICA MT
The Atomica mill-turn (MT) machine makes a completed part utilizing numerous operations in a single session.

Zirconium Nitride PVD Coating

Atomic Aquatics Zirconium Nitride is a highly corrosion resistant and super hard metal used as a protective layer over chrome-plated Brass components in the Z2 Regulator. In our PVD (physical v***r deposition) process, Zirconium Nitride coating is vacuum-chamber deposited over type 3 chrome-plated Brass. The result is an exponential improvement in corrosion resistance over conventional chrome plating. Adding Nitride during the PVD process improves hardness and changes the normally gray metal to a bright yellow-gold color.

Alloy CDA 360 Copper-Zinc

Atomic Aquatics utilizes CDA 360 Brass to offer divers the option for a cost-effective and highly corrosion-resistant metal. Yet, all Brasses are not the same. This is the best alloy for our applications. Atomic Aquatics also developed a more resilient Type 3 Copper, Nickel, and decorative Chrome plating to protect the Brass from tarnishing.

Monel

Alloy R405 Nickel-Copper

Monel was developed specifically for marine environments. The Atomic Aquatics Monel alloy is as strong as steel with excellent corrosion resistance in sea water. The properties of Monel make it the best metal choice for components subject to flammability in oxygen-enriched compressed air such as Nitrox. This enables the Atomic Aquatics M1 Regulator to accommodate oxygen mixes up to 80% when special guidelines are followed. Monel does not require plating.

Stainless Steel

Alloy Grade 316

The Atomic Aquatics ST1 Regulator is built from 316 SS to offer divers an environmentally-conscious metal choice. Stainless Steel is a high-strength and corrosion-resistant metal that has a beautiful silver machine-turned finish. The process for manufacturing SS is the most environmentally friendly and the metal is 100% recyclable. This stainless steel alloy does not require plating to protect and is nearly as resistant to sea water corrosion as Titanium.

It’s All About Titanium

Alloy Ti-6AL-4V

Titanium is the most elite metal for diving regulators. The Atomic Aquatics Titanium alloy is our signature metal and established the cornerstone for every product design that followed. It delivers extraordinary strength, is very lightweight, and is highly corrosion-resistant. Atomic Aquatics Titanium alloy gives divers superior corrosion-resistance and is able to survive 300 years in sea water without showing a hint of corrosion. Our Titanium components are precision-machined with a machine-turned finish that does not require plating.

Groundbreaking “firsts” require new thinking

After developing the world’s first all-Titanium regulator, we were faced with a unique problem, what could we do for act two? The success of the Atomic Aquatics T1 confirmed that divers want products born from new thinking. They embrace new materials and designs and realize the benefits of improved performance. So we launched an aggressive R&D program to seek materials and employ new designs that enhance the diving experience for divers of every skill level.

The Atomic Aquatics DNA starts with the metals

Every Atomic Aquatics product design starts with the careful selection of the perfect material. We don’t let cost or manufacturing difficulty limit us. The number one priority is choosing the right metal to deliver the best diving performance. In many cases, this requires the development of new manufacturing processes never before utilized in the scuba industry.

Atomic Aquatics Metallurgy

What’s an Alloy? An alloy is a combination of two or more metal elements that results in a new specialty metal with enhanced physical and mechanical properties. Why are Atomic Aquatics alloys better? Our engineers carefully choose metals to provide a superior level of diving performance, minimal maintenance, and greater product longevity. How do divers select the Atomic Aquatics metal that’s right for them? Atomic Aquatics regulators offer a choice of specialty metal alloys designed to suit your diving style and affordability level.

It’s Elemental
